Cricket clock circa late 19th early 20th Century. Very large and impressive Victorian/ Edwardian clock with plain circular face set in an ornate heavy oak wooden frame consisting of carved floral border set on a background of crossed cricket bats, stumps and ball, surmounted by carved scroll with the latin motto of the King’s Royal Rifle Corps ‘Celer et Audax’ (Swift and Bold) below a Maltese cross. The circular face measures 12.5” diameter, overall 26.5” wide by 27” wide. It is presumed the piece may have been part of a large sideboard, possibly at the regiment’s officers’ mess or pavilion. No legible maker’s marks can be found. The clock has undergone recent restoration with repair to the pendulum suspension rod and is in full working order. Very good condition. An impressive timepiece.
